The future of Paulo Dybala has been one of the most discussed topics this season. As his contract with Roma comes to an end, the continuity of the Argentine midfielder - who was once on Benfica’s radar - remains uncertain. However, Claudio Ranieri sought to clarify the situation.
"For the club’s survival, we have to lower the wage bill. It’s not that the management doesn’t want to renew contracts," Claudio Ranieri began, speaking to Sky Sports, explaining Roma’s complicated situation and the contract renewals with Dybala and captain Pellegrini.
"Based on what happens on the pitch, if there is an understanding, great. If not, we say goodbye," admitted the former Italian coach and now senior advisor at Roma, explaining that the current situation needs to be handled very carefully.
Claudio Ranieri: "The request to the coach is to reach the Champions League and then, for the year to come when we can win the Scudetto"
"The new stadium shows just how involved the Friedkins are. The request to the coach is to reach the Champions League and then, for the year to come when we can win the Scudetto," Claudio Ranieri finally revealed, addressing Roma’s objectives.
It should be noted that Paulo Dybala has been linked with Benfica in recent months, ever since José Mourinho returned to manage the Eagles. Furthermore, the Argentine’s move to Luz is just one possibility on the table, as it is not an easy task for Benfica.
